Water Quality Snapshot: MORAN TWP SCHLS/GROS CAP

MORAN TWP SCHLS/GROS CAP is a private-owned non-transient non-community water system that delivers drinking water to 102 residents in ST. IGNANCE, Michigan (Mackinac County) through 1 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 29 total violations for this system , of which 3 (10%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 26 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2021.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Lead and Copper Rule, recorded in 6 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 1 PFAS compound was detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 88 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Michigan, EPA tracks 10,959 public water systems serving 9,098,093 people, with 255,201 cumulative violations and 31,467 health-based violations on record. About 86% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 23.3 violations. MORAN TWP SCHLS/GROS CAP's 29 violations sit above the Michigan average. Statewide, 87 of 318 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (27.4%).
